"I'm comfortable putting a hand on their shoulder and just saying, I'm so sorry this is happening. And then I'll let them take it from there. If a hug is what is needed, then I will give them a hug." #ThisIsDoctoring #TipsForNewDocs https://t.co/iYJmVZgiZY
A primary way in which I am rebelling against a healthcare system on fire is that I refuse to rush. I take my time, really talk to my patients, do what needs to get done. People have been very gracious about waiting because they know that they’re really going to be seen.

I was not ready for the intense ownership and responsibility you feel for your patients as an attending. I thought I felt it a lot as a fellow, but knowing that your decisions (that are no longer signed off on by somebody) carry so much weight in another person’s life is heavy.

The other day I was scheduled to see a medically / socially complex patient who I’d never met before and whose visit required a translator. How long did they give me? 15 mins. How long did the visit actually take? 1.5 hours.
Me: “If you want, I’ll go with you. I mean it.”
Someone came & got me. Said you wanted to do what I’d offered. Which was go with you to get your #COVIDVaccine.
Yup.
Even better? Your partner joined in. (Plus a lady in the lobby who asked if she could come, too.)
Yay.😭💛👊🏽

This week at Grady
You: “They stay talking’ ‘bout how everybody could get that shot if they want it. All they got to do is walk in.” *making air quotes* “But that’s some bullshit.”
Me: *listening*
You: “That AIN’T all you got to do.”
You folded your arms in a huff.
My 3 y/o patient with developmental delay recognized me on a TV commercial. His mom was so impressed when he got her attention and pointed to the TV saying "Mommy, doctor." She showed me a video of him saying it and I shed a thug tear!

Remembering in med school I took care of an elderly patient, dying of progressive cancer. She had difficulty falling asleep, so I asked, “What helps you sleep at home?”
She said, “One Busch Light & some Harry Connick Jr”
Bet your ass I showed up to rounds w/ a 6-pack & a CD.
I told an old man who's having chest pain he needed to go to the hospital. He lives alone, and he's worried about his cat. I'm tempted to drive up there and take care of the cat myself.
@guptaarjun90 @Hopkins_HemOnc #ThisIsDoctoring. This is also a shameful indictment of our medical system

I saw this Grady elder in the clinic one morning. He was walking through the hallway and appeared a bit lost.
Not lost in that way like where you don't completely know where you are, but more in that way where you know you're right near where you're supposed to be.
